(54) | Filter for concentrating suspensions |
(57) A filter for concentrating fibre suspensions of the type where annular filter discs
(2) rotate about a collection trough (13) for dewatered fibres. Each filter disc comprises
two mutually spaced filter elements (3) which together with an annular wall (4) radially
inwardly terminating the disc define a filtrate chamber (5) inside the disc. The filtrate
chamber (5) communicates radially outwardly with the surroundings. The suspension
container (1) of the filter is inwardly provided under the suspension surface with
an arcuate duct (15) for each disc, said duct being in communication with the filtrate
outlet (17) of the container. There is communication between each disc (2) and associated
duct (15) such that the filtrate can be transferred from a filtrate chamber to the
respective duct (15). |
